The mountainous areas where the army lurked were actually about the same as the typical hills in the Jiangnan region, and they were not high. However, the distance between the two peaks is just right, enough to form a continuous suppression ability below.

The soldiers, who had already received orders, lurked quietly in the dead grass. Holding his breath, through the faint morning light, he watched the movement under the valley. The wind and grass moved, revealing a body like a tiger, ready to go.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, a long procession, carrying a cloud of dust from afar, drove mightily into the valley. Seeing the enemy appear, the soldiers immediately held their breath and lurked lower. At the same time, he also held the knife and gun in his hand tightly.

The Jiangning generation, because of Hongquan's proper governance, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it has always been a model of stability in the Great Zhou Dynasty. And the Jiangning garrison stationed here, naturally, unlike other places, has become a routine thing to go out to suppress bandits every day. Jiang Ning has not had a war since the rebellion of the Five Poisons Sect twenty years ago. Therefore, it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness of the army guarding here will also decline after a long period of idleness.

Today, most of these fledgling soldiers are participating in real combat for the first time. At this time, seeing the long line of thousand-strong troops coming from the bottom of the valley, he was naturally a little nervous.

"Nervous?" A lieutenant turned his head, looked at the soldiers around him who were tense and their muscles were a little stiff, and asked with a low voice and a smile.

"No, no, no, tight, nervous!" The soldier smiled stiffly and said to his superiors.

The lieutenant could not tell how nervous he was now when he saw that the soldier was stammering. However, he didn't say much encouragement. Instead, he simply reached out and pressed it on his shoulder and whispered to him, "Look back!" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, but still looked upward.

I saw that the military advisor dressed in a light cyan robe was sitting on a big bluestone not far above at this time, with an indifferent smile on his face, talking to Lord Ning. The demeanor of the gestures is like a military strategist who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is accustomed to bloody conflicts.

Seeing that the soldier was looking at the military advisor attentively, the lieutenant lowered his voice and said to the soldier with a very strange expression: "Do you know, the military advisor is also on the battlefield for the first time!" ”

"Huh?" As soon as the soldier let out an exclamation, the lieutenant quickly reached out and gagged him.

"Say, what are you shouting!" The lieutenant glared at him angrily, and after glancing around, he found that the other brothers were still staring intently below, not paying attention to this place. The lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand angrily, and knocked on the soldier's head.

"No, no, my lord, is it really the first time that the military advisor has been on the battlefield? It doesn't look like it! The soldier looked incredulous, turned his head, glanced at the breezy scholar, and asked suspiciously.

"Why not, Lao Tzu listened to what Boss Zhan said, can this be fake?" The lieutenant scoffed, as if mocking the soldier's shallowness.

After saying this, the lieutenant reached out and put his hand on the soldier's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "The military division of the people, a scholar, is not nervous, you are a fucking soldier, and you are still nervous like a girl, I am really not ashamed!" ”

As he spoke, the lieutenant looked at the soldier with disdain, pursed his lips, and seemed to feel very ashamed of such a soldier.

"Who, who, who said I was nervous?" Like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, the soldier suddenly blushed and shouted in disobedience like a fighting.

"Okay, just like the military advisor said, whether you are nervous or not is not said with your mouth, if you kid has a kind, you will cut off a few more heads in a while, and it will also make Lao Tzu have a long face!" The lieutenant waved his hand, still not believing the soldier's words.

"Just look at it!" The soldier smiled, and the hesitation and nervousness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deep flickering spirit. He stared at the enemy below, smirked, spat on it, and said to the lieutenant with a fist in his hands.

Not only him, but at this moment, the colleagues lurking around him also burst out with a strong survival ** at this time. Although these guys, they didn't say anything. However, the look in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter.

Seeing that the fighting spirit of the brothers was fully mobilized, the lieutenant nodded with satisfaction and patted the soldier's shoulder. Then, with a sneaky turn, he held out his thumb and raised it to the herald standing aside.

The herald smiled, clasped his fists at the lieutenant, and turned to the direction where Lu Heng was above.

……

And at the same time, the ambush site, the periphery.

In the valley, the cold wind blows, and the grass rustles. The withered leaves of the grass fluttered in the valley with the wind, falling in the cold river water, whirling down the river.

In the overgrown mountain rocks, Zhan Huwei and Wang Wu, who had already arrived, squatted behind a large bluestone. The atmosphere didn't dare to make a sound. They had been lying here for half an hour.

At this time, the Zhan guard secretly got up and glanced ahead.

I saw a long queue on the road not far ahead. Like a black poisonous snake, it stretched by. This team of thousands of people has been walking for a long time. However, it has never been finished.

Through the faint morning light, the Zhan guards could clearly see the frightened expressions of the more than 1,000 people, as well as the embarrassed figures.

The Zhan guard smiled coldly and reached out towards the long knife at his waist.

The long procession finally entered the ambush range a moment before the head of the day rose. Although they could be seen scanning their surroundings nervously, now, the end was decided. No matter how vigilant they are, they are a bunch of fat in the pot.

The Zhan guard licked his chapped lips, a sinister smile appearing on his swarthy face.

"Good, good, good, it's all in!"

Beside him, Wang Wu nodded, and said with a smile: "The military advisor is really calculating!" None of them missed the net! ”

Suddenly, he couldn't hear the sneering voice of the Zhan guards around him, Wang Wu turned his head in astonishment, and saw that the Zhan guards were staring at him fiercely. He hurriedly smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Of course, Brother Zhan, your credit is also great!" ”

Guarding Zhan laughed at this time, he nodded, and looked at Wang Wu approvingly with a promising look in your kid. Then after he coughed, he said solemnly: "Although, my brothers and I of the light cavalry battalion are very hard and tired, and the credit is also very great. I didn't even drink saliva along the way. I've been chasing these grandsons and bringing them here. However, Wang Wu, you don't worship us too much. People, there is always a gap! Envy, jealousy, and hatred don't work! ”

Wang Wu: "......"

The Zhan guard smiled and groped for the beard on his face. After raising his head again and looking out, his expression suddenly became serious.

He bent down, stared at Wang Wu, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Wu! ”

"The subordinates are here!" Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, obviously not coming back to his senses from the shameless boast of the Zhan guards just now. However, after hearing the deep voice of the Zhan guard, the accustomed fist replied.

"The enemy has all entered the ambush circle, and immediately send someone to deliver a message to the military division. Let's just say that the five departments of Zhanxiong Wang have begun to finish according to the predetermined plan. Attack at any time! After the Zhan guard reached out and pressed Wang Wu's shoulder, he beckoned to the 100 light cavalry battalion behind him, and took the lead in rushing out of the lurking stone forest.

Although the more than 100 light cavalry battalions had traveled a long way, they did not show any fatigue at this time. They were like half of a ferocious pack of wolves, following the head of the wolf, and their bodies were vigorously headed down the opposite hill.

Wang Wu, who finally came back to God, just wanted to say, grass, is it enough for you to bring a hundred people, I want to die! only to find that the Zhan guards had already taken a hundred brothers from the light cavalry battalion and went out.

Wang Wu scolded angrily, turned around, and said to the scout beside him: "Go, send a message to the military advisor...... ”

After the scout received the order, Wang Wu took a deep breath, raised his hand, waved his hand at the five hundred sergeants behind him, and tiptoed out of the ambush area.

……

The valley is deep and silent. Not even a single bird flew away, and the whole valley was dead silent.

Raising his head to look at the peaks on both sides, he saw that the black peaks, like two fierce beasts, were lying on both sides, although they did not exert power, but they brought great coercion to the team marching in the valley.

A thousand people stepped on the gravel under their feet and struggled forward.

After a long time of running for their lives, they are already in a state of mind. The two legs trembled disobediently, the feet were weak, and from time to time a companion fell.

But there was no one to help him.

Because everyone was hurrying with their heads down, for fear of falling behind, they were caught and boiled by the group of damn guys in the back.

In the entire valley, there was only the dull sound of breathing and the sound of falling gravel beneath the feet. The sound of cheering and hula makes people extremely annoying to hear.

Liu Yuanyi was in this team, and at this time, he had not slept all night. He looked haggard, but his eyes were still extremely clear.

Since last night, the pair of mysterious troops who suddenly attacked their hiding place appeared. Liu Yuanyi fled in a hurry like a bird that had been frightened. Running all the way to here.

Although he had a thousand well-trained attendants, Liu Yuanyi had no thought of resisting in his heart.

Because, last night, the intelligence analysis that came back from the spies. The group of troops who took advantage of the night to smear Jitouling was no less than a thousand. Moreover, judging from their extremely fast marching speed, this army is likely to be the light cavalry battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Jiangning garrison.

A thousand against a thousand. The regular army was reckless against the rivers and lakes.

Liu Yuanyi really didn't have any confidence in his heart. had no choice but to lead the team to escape.

In fact, at the beginning, he also thought about taking the road of Lijiazhuang.

But helplessly, the three messengers sent failed to reach a hundred steps outside the gate of Lijiazhuang, and were shot by the cold arrows released in the village. Moreover, Li Jiazhuang said that if he dared to step into Li Jiazhuang's sphere of influence again, he would be killed.

In desperation, Liu Yuan chose this road that he didn't want to take.

Along the way, Liu Yuanyi, who was extremely tired, strangled the horse under his crotch. After taking the water bladder handed over by the attendant beside him, he took a sip of cold uh spring water. The moment he raised his head, he suddenly saw the vast Yangtze River in front of him.

Me, we're finally here!

Liu Yuanyi was overjoyed, put down the kettle with trembling hands, and looked at the end of the valley in front of him, the wide Yangtze River. His lips pursed and he stammered.

However, after just one glance, Liu Yuanyi's heart suddenly woke up.

Something is wrong, absolutely not right. What about the Salt Gang?

What about the salt gang that was originally booked and accepted again? How is it missing?

And what about ships? The ship is there!

Liu Yuanyi, who was in doubt, fell off the horse with a wheel under the unstable figure. With a thud, he fell the gravel riverbed.

"Outside!" The attendant beside him was shocked, and hurriedly rushed over and helped Liu Yuanyi up.

"Where's the ship!" Liu Yuanyi looked at the front in a daze, the river surface was extremely wide but empty, and his heart was blank.

At this moment, a loud roar of arrows sounded over the valley.

Many people in the rivers and lakes, after hearing the sound, were taken aback and raised their heads to look.

I saw that in the already white sky, a rocket was like a meteor, streaking across the sky overhead.

A moment later, on the mountainside that was originally empty on both sides of the valley, a dense figure of a sergeant suddenly appeared, as if a divine soldier had descended from the sky, and suddenly appeared here.

For a time, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the flames were soaring......
